Only on paper.

And in reality -- without a serial number, it's not an iPad.

But we've already established that the iPad in question is fake with a fake history.

So really, the question is: Can God create a counterfeit that is indistinguishable from the genuine article?

And I don't think anyone is denying that yes, He can.

I´m wondering why Apple doesn´t use this fact for their purposes. They could easily refuse each single warranty case with reference to the fact that the defective iPhone could have been created by God ex nihilo.

Can He create a planet ex nihilo with just as much evidence (zero) left behind?

If it looks like no one or nothing in particular did it why would anyone assume that they did?

The first problem is the word "He", what is the "He"? the only way all religions work is if they assume without any evidence that there is a "He", once they overcome that problem "ALL" things become possible.

God could have created the entire Universe just yesterday, complete with a false history, false memories, and a false Bible.

After all, if God is willing to deceive us with the creation then why should we believe the Bible?

God creates an iPad ex nihilo and gives it to you.

Everyone you tell laughs at you.

Convince them otherwise, or explain why you can't.
They are propably laughing because they prefer Samsung.

A real god would know that, and not try to stick you with an iPad knockoff.

Actually, I think now that God has already created the universe, there is no way for God to create anything ex nihilo - because there isn´t any more nihilum to create something from.
(But maybe God first created nihilum from something again, and then re-created everything including the iPad ex nihilo?)

Can God actually create ex nihilo, after all an idea is something so God is at minimum creating from an idea.
(That he copied from humans in this case)

Also Would God create something that is NOT Perfect?

I noticed you stopped just shy of mentioning "with zero evidence."

You guys are so dead-set on thinking there should be evidence, you need to feature creep a simple challenge until it's something you can accuse God of doing.

And even then you won't admit zero evidence.

You are the one who says that evidence can take a hike. It isn't us who reject evidence.

You are also the one who has God creating fake evidence, not us.
